Tragedy struck in Shabwa, Yemen as two brothers were killed and another wounded in a surprise attack on the UAE-backed “Transitional Council” factions. The attack targeted their positions in al-Saaid district, leaving devastation in its wake. The Shabwa defense factions faced a double assault with mortar shells and explosive devices in the Al-Musaina area, resulting in the tragic deaths of Saleh and Muhammad Al-Ahmadi, with Amin Sharaf sustaining serious injuries.
Unidentified gunmen, suspected to be members of Al-Qaeda, launched a coordinated attack on the Al-Qalaa camp in the “First Shabwa Defense Brigade.” The assailants used mortar shells and RPGs before disappearing into the shadows. They strategically placed explosive devices in their path of retreat, further endangering the defense forces chasing them.
The pro-transitional media reported the death of 4 terrorists and injuries to others but kept mum on their identities or the motives behind the assault. The situation remains tense as the defense of Shabwa continues to combat the threat posed by these terrorist elements.
